Now tied with Oregon for second place in the league standings. Southern California doesn’t meet its next conference opponent until the California game October 28. Oregon State, with two victories and no losses to its credit, is tied for first place in the title chase with UCLA.
With Granny Lansdell playing the hero's role, SC had things pretty well its own way Saturday. Lansdell, a surprise starter over Doyle Nave, went over for the first score late in the opening quarter after a march of 74 yards in 13 plays. Phil Gaspar’s kick added the extra point.
A bullet pass to Husky Bob Hoffman early in the third period paved the way for the second tally. Hoffman took Lansdell’s toss and wiggled his way down the field for a 28-yard gain. Bill Sangster later hurdled the line to score, with Gaspar’s kick going wide.
